I was being watched !

No, I'm not paranoid, but one of our resident Bald Eagles was takin a keen interest in my activities the other day. He/she was eyeballin me for a good 30 minutes a few mornings ago, while I got into some bluegill over some brush I sank a few weeks ago, in 15ish FOW.

I was throwin a flashy, minner color slider, with a 1/16 oz chartreuse jig head, on 4 lb mono, from a 8' Crappie Max rod, and Tiny Lite reel.

Only got into about a dozen or so, but had an awesome time putting on a show for this hungry bird.

2 or 3 fish in, I musta dribbled some fish slime on the camera lens, as most of the pics were unusable !

Thanks for lookin.

You're real lucky that big bird didn't swoop down and grab that fish out of your hand.

Big gills, mans best friend, and an audience. It doesn't get much better than that!

Good pictures....like the eagle

Sounds like a great morning

Gr8 report & fish

Great pics of a very good trip. Love the Eagle shot, I see them often but few pics. Good pile you built, now it needs some neighbors.

eagles will take fish sometimes , I bet someone fed that one before . we had one come screaming down like a bullet thru a flock of sea gulls in Alaska a few years ago and hit the rockfish that we just tossed back .
nice ketch on them gills

Majestic for sure, congrats!

Thank you for sharing your good fortune and the pics beautiful fish and eagle!!
